Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ -> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

What process do you breathe in oxygen for?

Back

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The breakdown of glucose to release ATP.

Front

Does cellular respiration occur in both plants and animals?

Back

True

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and Oxygen (O₂).

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is ATP?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.
